2024-2025 Team and Roster Updates Live!

2024-2025 Rosters are now up to date. Utah has been added as an expansion team, and Arizona has been removed. Defensemen are now all LD and RD, and all forwards now only have a single position. (This is due to changes in the data source.)

New Logo Sets!

In addition to the original standard logo set, you can now choose between two new sets: an alternate set and a whimsical set.

Next update should be rosters for 2024-2025. Look for that soon!

Coaches... Continued

You can now change your coach! Click your team icon on the header on the main game screen, and click 'Change'. There are no limits (at the moment) to how often you change your coach, although that may change in future releases. When your coach is fired, back to the pool they go, and you can re-hire again later.

With this release, the AIs will not change coaches. That will probably change as well in the near future.

Coaches!

This is the start of coaches being added to Executive Hockey! For now, it's just a drop-in replacement for team archetypes (aggressive, defensive, wise, etc.), but will eventually be a fuller experience.

We also fixed some player career stats that were slightly inaccurate.

Miscellaneous minor fixes - October 16, 2023

  • Fixes bug where drop down lists wouldn't always be in front
  • Change so that AI teams are more likely to start drafted players sooner
  • Undetermined players now behave like a weighted average of the likelihood of them determining at each level; no longer like minor leaguers
  • Fixed bug where if you switched years there would be x's by the teams making the playoffs in the current year
  • Fixed bug where if you switched years when you weren't looking at your own team, it would never reset back properly
  • Customizable draft pools by year with some 'real' players for 2024 and 2025 included
  • Updated rosters
  • Slight performance improvements
  • All teams now lose rights to any draft picks not signed within 4 years (including human owner)
  • Bumped up # of games required to become 'determined'
